=. Whipped a Woman.

The constable was hunting for Jake
Swinagan yesterday, but he failed to
lind him, though he is willing to make
oath he saw every other coon in town.
Jake is charged with having so far
forgotten his sex as to lay violent
hands upon Annie Bowen, also col
Ored. Jake had better dance up to
Justice Fishers court and settle the
matter or dance out of town perma-
nently, as the law has turned its
blood hounds upon him not to be re-
called until he does.

terday morning acknowledged to being
booty and were assessed So each for
their truthfulness.
The only other case was that OF
Clarence Bouldin, a little yellow coon
of twelve summers, charged with
jumping off and oD moving trains.
He was arrested about II p. m. by
Officer James Gassage as he jumped
from a west bound freight train near
the depot, going at a good speed.
Clarence said his mother was a washer.
woman, that he had carried the crew
their weeks washing and they had al
lowed him to ride down town to 60
home. As there was no one to testify
to the contrary, Clarence's case was
continued until Monday when the
crew will return. His honor remarked
that he was determined to break up
the practice of boys jumping on
trains.

MELODLA.
A Sedalia Street Study of Thirty
Minutes.

The organ grinders have come, will
come and 60. They are various in
their natis,ality, the character of
their personal Affections and their
instrumental infections. Their al
legged music is melancholy in its gay
ETY., and doleful in its suggestions.
The grinders are blind, or deformed,
or manned. They appeal to ones
benevolence or charity in way that
is generally irresistible, and they gen.
orally, as a matter of fact, gather
aims, or whatever the requests may
be denominated, from parties perhaps
not as well off in this worlds goods dis
they are themselves.
A study yesterday of the cOntribu-
tors to forlorn-looking woman, who
happens to be the solitary exponent
of roller music, now in Sedalia, re-
vealed some curious facts. She
crouches at a street corner, out
of the way of the crowd, and yet at
the edge of the passing currents OF
humanity, and grinds and grinds.
Her monopoly of the organ business
yields to her lineup fair harvest of
nickels and dimes.
The almsgiyers are picturesque In
their variety. A darkey, with rag.
ged clothes, stops for moment and
drops in a nickel; passing traveller,
with a grip in his hand, contributes a
dime; a young girl stops on her way
from work and the lineup echoes
with the ring of money, a richly
dressed woman with the unmistakable
earmarks of the half-wOrld in her at.
tire and her carriage fiips quarter
into the other woman's lap; hearty
railroader half mOdestly, for fear OF
being observed, throws his cigar away
dives into his vest pocket and fishes
out a coin, which goes into the COM
mon receptacle, and so it goes fol
minute after minute, with certain
seasons during the day when trade
in alms-giving slackens like trade in
other business of life.
1t is singular, though, that in al
the bestowals upon the organ grind
er, the representation from those vel
able, as judged from a half hours OBJ.
servation, is so small. A passing
glance at the figure grinding away al
the music-box is all that some of the
fashionables bes.ow, and others go not
that far in their Observation-Disclosures of
self and pleasure.
The "melodia," woman and her
instrument ON a crowded street of a
bright spring day, make a curious
study for one with the leisure.

STORY OF A STEAL.


The BAzoo a few days since made
mention of the larceny of q couple of
waite es from the residence of Guysler
the watch maker who resides on Pet
tbs street, by the Gray boys. Mr..
Guysler at the time recovered one OF
the watches, but as the boys denied
taking the other one he took no steps
toward their arrest, as he is but lit
tie acquainted with the laws or Ian
guage of the country. Ever since the
publication sof the matter, however,
the police have been on the look out
for the time piece and it has been at
last traced up and identified by the
owner. 1t was first found in the
possession of young Greenstreet who
claimed to have obtained it from
Charlie Wilson. Wilson got it from
a colOred boy, the colJred boy got il
from Headen's boy, and Headen's boy
got it from the Gray boys. Yester-
day a warrant was sworn out for the
Gray boys, charging them with
larceny from a dwelling, and the
chances are these young rascals will
get lesson that will teach them that
honesty is the best policy after all.
The boys will not receive it any too
soon, however, as they are reputed to
be anything out honest in the neigh
borhoOd and constant complaints are
made of their petty depredatiOns.

passed down beneath the roof and
knocked hole through the plaster of

concerned, the damage was but

building. After securing their booty
they passed out the same way they
entered. The establishment Is out Of
